After Root's failures in the two matches we've won and his runs in the match we lost, I'd be replacing him with Hales.

Failure? In the last match he scored his 20 runs at significantly more than the overall run rate. This is precisely the kind of performance you've been abdicating. Thought you'd be delighted, now you want him dropped?

Stop it. It's already been roundly ascertained that you and I have nothing to learn from each other on this subject.

Let alone rubbish field, what is Williamson playing at? Has left it at least 4 overs late before bringing on De Grandhomme. Personally I would have gone for a spinner. I reckon Roy would start scratching around more v spin for one.

Roy gone to spin, not sure why batsman just don't let it go for a wide when it's going down the leg side.

Looks a lovely batting surface although there's a bit of spongy bounce, not sure what cricinfo was on about saying it was grassy.

Root playing for singles and his ton rather than taking charge, while the collapse happens all around him, and England jammed the innings into reverse there, before Curran saved our blushes somewhat with 22 off 10 and 18 off the last.
